CJ, the majority of people within jails you will find have PTSD or a mild form of it, being suffering from trauma within their lives. Counsellors within prisons should actually be near experts with PTSD. No, jail is not the optimal place to deal with these things, however; if that is what it comes down too, jail is not the enemy either, in actual fact you may just find yourself healing more whilst in their than you could in civilian society. I know I have done some serious healing when isolated from the world, though when reintroduced to the world I slowly got agitated again. Basically, I had to learn how to manage PTSD in order to live with it in society, instead of hiding or fighting myself / PTSD / society constantly.
